This is terrific. Chester County Economic Development Council, DCCC, PSU-GV, CCWIB, and about 24 of our advanced manufacturers have just embarked on a collaborative effort to support business growth in manufacturing that will target resources to linking qualified workers with open jobs, provide specialized training to support positions with advanced technology needs, and develop an effective campaign to grow the pipeline of workers in our region to fill these open jobs. We’ll continue to follow the state’s efforts.

Congratulations Carolyn- It is always helpful to have fresh new ideas and perspectives from someone with private sector experience when working with entrepreneur outreach programs. We look forward to working with you at the Kutztown University SBDC.

I am a Technology Education teacher in the Stroudsburg Area School District.
I love the concept. Manufacturing needs to be the backbone of the economy. The public needs to be educated in the practices of modern manufacturing. Schools are a great place to start the re-education of a generation. I would like to see some involvement of educators – by that I mean classroom teachers in this process. We have the opportunity to reach the students – the future workforce that will be needed to fill the jobs created. Are there any educators serving on your committees? We would value having the opportunity for input in this important organization as we promote STEM Education in the schools.

Thanks

Kirk

Comment on Team PA supports GAT’s work with Endo Pharmeceuticals by Stephen Marvin

Stephen Marvin — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 14:33:45 +0000

Taxpayer’s take a pounding from political puffed shirts. Fact is Endo was looking at another location but was lured to a special government handout developed by a quarry which was also probably paid by the government. The owner of the property lured Endo to build using $65 million on a spot which civil engineers remarked does not have a strong base foundation. A five story building is going to be placed on the landfill inside a quarry! Two years tops before it starts to show signs of settling or sinking!! Then, the taxpayers will pay to shore it up! Fact is the government is shelling out political favors to already wealthy companies and not really helping other industries. It is true Endo will be hiring and creating jobs but they were going to do this already on their own dime!
